Are you serious about wanting to sell your home? If so, the following list will provide you with some easy simple steps to making your home more appealing to the buyers. You would be surprised what little items can make or break you selling your home at the price you want. All of these items should be gone prior to listing your home, or within a small time period of listing your home.

Curb Appeal: Be sure to keep the grass cut and the walk way and drive way free of leafs and dirt. Remove dead plants and keep all the trimming nicely done. Giving your home good curb appeal is very important because it is the buyers’ first impression on your home. Some people will not walk inside of your home is the outside is not nicely maintained.
De-Clutter: Box the excessive family photos and unnecessary items lying around the house. The goal is to make your home fit any buyers that may walk through, they need to walk through and picture their own family photos up on the walls.

Renting a Storage Unit: For some households, de-cluttering may mean renting a storage unit. It is best to store larger furniture; you want the rooms to look open and spacious. Leave a couple of pieces of furniture out for display and family use, however if there are extra chairs, couches, etc., it is best for showing purposes to store them.
Kitchen Cabinets/Closets: When we say, de-clutter, we mean everything! Yes, even the kitchen cabinets need to be neatly organized, with plates nicely stacked and containers clearly organizing everything. Buyers will snoop and open every door, so be sure to impress them all the way! If items fall out of the closet when they open them that is NOT impressive! Clean and organize all closets as well. Try to pick everything up off the floor even in the closets; neatly organize all shoes as well.

Minor Repairs/Touch-Ups: Small repairs, such as replacing tiles, cracked windows, blinds, paint and carpet cleaning should all be done. These smaller repairs can make the sale of your home. An advantage of working with Community Partners Realty is that we have an in-house contractor that make prepare bids for you and have work done by trusted and efficient people.
Lastly: Step outside your home and pretend you are a buyer walking in for the first time. What do you see? Smell? Is the home inviting? Is there anything positive or negative that catches your attention?
